There are many reasons for that: family, work, and life-related commitments.

Focus less on work and more on the life of the school.
When you are working hard on a project, you will be in a constant state of flux, Fleischer said.
If you are not doing your job properly, it could be detrimental to your career, he said.
The solution to this is to be more focused on the school experience and work on your personal life instead.
For example, instead of working on your thesis, Fleisher recommends taking the following classes: a) study abroad b) art and design c) photography d) philosophy and ethics e) meditation f) music theory g) physical therapy h) dance and dance-like exercise i) sports, such as swimming, rowing, and hockey j) swimming, skating, and water polo k) cooking, such that you don’t need to study the art of food preparation and preparation of meals.

Have an open mind about your future plans and goals.
You will learn to look for opportunities to make money during your college career, Fleisch said.
However, there is always a chance you might miss out on the opportunities.
“I think there are times when you should think about your career options and where you could go in order to get the best pay,” he said, adding that you can only have that thought during your school years.
If the opportunity comes along that you really like, Fleiser said, “just get it.”
“There is no point in wasting time on it if it is going to hurt your future,” Fleischer added.

Work from home.
In many cases, the biggest reason that you want a more relaxing life during college is because you don of want to be in the classroom.
However.
you can still have fun and make friends while working from home, Fleische said.
“If you do the work from home more often, you can have a much more satisfying college experience,” he explained.
7.
Do something you enjoy.
When we work from school, it feels good to be working, Fleiche said.
In fact, Fleice said it’s great that you work at home, as you get to work in a relaxed environment.
However…
Fleischer advised that if you do not enjoy working from school at all, you should consider doing something else.
“You can go on an adventure or go out to a party or do something different,” he suggested.
“Do something you love to do.
Do a thing you enjoy.”

Know how to keep yourself busy.
If your work is important, you have to be willing to take time to get it done, Fleicht said.
